So I have tried traditional
schooling...High school and everything was
fine but for some reason I'm just not
feeling that I mix well in the traditional
secondary school setting....I've been
trying really hard to make it work because
I know it's the only thing my family
believes in. If you don't have it you've
failed. But I've been looking at other
options because I've taken a technical
school program before and I seem to do
massively better with more hands on
learning. I'm really interested in beauty
school, not just like cosmetology but the
whole thing nails, makeup and aesthetics
also. How do I explain to my family that I
think I would be better and would prefer
beauty school over traditional schooling?
(my brother has a bachelors and masters in
computer information systems and is the
absolute golden child of our family, my
sister is the original dissapointment as
they put it because she dropped out of
college)

Starri, this situation is beautiful to me.
It's beautiful to me, because: This is a
chance to show that your life is yours,
and that you can succeed in any way that
you want. For example, if you want to do
the beauty school, then do it! Of course
your family expects you to do different
schooling, but hey, you have only one
life, so you got to make the best of it.
It's going to be a little hard on you to
explain to them what you've decided, but
it needs to happen some day. But in final,
please do what your heart tells you to do,
and what you want to do. You deserve to be
happy, and if they disagree with your
doing, then they don't want you to be
happy. Good luck.
